Why the area is on the map
- Antara (English, 16 July 2026): a military task force found about 3,000 cannabis plants at the Kima village complex and about 2,000 at Air Garam village, in Yahukimo, on 13 July 2026.
- Antara (10 September 2026): the border task force of Infantry Battalion 725/Woroagi found about 21,400 plants ready for harvest at the Ibiroma complex, Kurima district, Yahukimo regency, on 9 September 2026.
- JPNN (13 June 2025): the head of the Damai Cartenz police task force said that a cannabis garden in Kurima was run by Egianus Kogoya's group.
- The reports name places by regency and district, so the area takes the regency, the unit they share. It is not part of Oksibil, which lies in Pegunungan Bintang regency.
Growing status
The status is Active: plants were found growing in 2026, some of them ready for harvest. The finds were destroyed or taken as evidence, but no source says that growing in the regency has ended.
How the border is drawn
- The border is a proxy, drawn on one administrative unit: Yahukimo Regency (OpenStreetMap relation 7754454). It is one piece of about 16,300 km², the figure in the infobox.
- Kurima village and the settlement of Ibiroma (OpenStreetMap) lie inside the border, in the north-west of the regency, about 15 km south-east of Wamena. OpenStreetMap does not show Kima and Air Garam; the reports place both in Yahukimo.
- The border is not drawn from accession or news points.
The name
The page takes the bare name of the regency. The regency as an administrative unit takes the suffix, Yahukimo Regency; the two news items from Yahukimo record it in that form.
Who grew the plants
The police said in 2025 that the Kurima garden belonged to Egianus Kogoya's group and paid for its operations and weapons. In July 2026 the army said that it was still investigating who had grown the plants at Kima and Air Garam. The article reports each statement as the officer's. No report carries a response from the group, and no source confirms the attribution independently.
Sources
The sources cited are Antara (16 July 2026, English; 10 September 2026, Indonesian) and JPNN (13 June 2025, Indonesian).
Where the sources disagree
- The date of the Kurima find. Antara has the commander place the find on Wednesday 9 September 2026. The wiki's news item from Yahukimo also cites a statement relayed by Jawa Pos that places it on 8 September and names the settlements of Ibiroma and Hesmat. The article uses Antara's date.
